It was MnMs to pee, and a "poop toy" if he could poop 5 times in the potty. Despite all the warning against bribery, it worked. However, now that he's learned how to pee standing up, he wants to do it everywhere: on the side of road, highway, friend's house, our house, our bushes, wall at daycare (they love me for that one b/c apparently some of the other little boys thought it was cool too)...The Mommy Doctornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-75396838291749790202008-07-29T22:10:00.000-04:002008-07-29T22:10:00.000-04:00The guys do.

You're going to get all kinds of hits on Google! <BR/><BR/>In my opinion, guys value their parts way too much. What's the big deal anyway? Who cares?CityStreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13920473275157073900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-45778115684990699212008-07-29T08:36:00.000-04:002008-07-29T08:36:00.000-04:00This penis fascination doesn't end - all the males...This penis fascination doesn't end - all the males in my household hold their penises. Watch TV - hold penis, walk to refrigerator - hold penis, surf the net - hold penis. I don't understand the fascination with holding your penis but I don't have a female counterpart - maybe I'll try holding my boobs.mwashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10088169938455886789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-65615299618771621952008-07-28T23:53:00.000-04:002008-07-28T23:53:00.000-04:00Son, turning 4 next week, is fascinated with his p...Son, turning 4 next week, is fascinated with his private part. He calls it his "penny." He used to call it his "toy" but we discouraged that (while privately laughing). <BR/><BR/>Just today, I repeated, and repeated, and repeated: "Every boy likes to touch his penis, but you should do that in the bathroom or bedroom and never in front of other people." <BR/><BR/>He hasn't asked about my private part yet, but quite frankly I <I><B>do</B></I> want one.

Then a friend of mine told me that he is constantly taking his 3 year old son to the bathroom and long trips are impossible. So maybe diapers aren't so bad.Fizzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11989684741783903947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-91074263824909540032008-07-28T20:47:00.000-04:002008-07-28T20:47:00.000-04:00my girl-- a girl! who is supposed to like the pott...my girl-- a girl! who is supposed to like the potty!-- used it for a week when she was two, then refused until Feb 15, 2006, when she was just six weeks shy of 3 1/2 years old. By then she had been pooping on the potty if she was home, for perhaps 3 months. And dry at night for at least that long. But suggest that she pee in the potty in the morning and you would be fixed with the fiercest of glares and hear "NO POTTY" at the top of her considerable lungs. (BTW: same girl from about 3.5-4.5 insisted the she had a Pretend Penis whenever she peed.)<BR/><BR/>I tell my patients that there is a cosmic day on which your child will use the potty. You can wait for it, or you can spend a few months "potty training" and work up to it. Either way, same day your kid will be using the potty appropriately, so it's your choice. <BR/><BR/>don't get me started on the friends' kid who was being "trained" by which they meant he wasn't wearing diapers and they tried to remember to get him to the potty often enough. But got distracted. While he stood in an expensive wool carpet in my living room. One that is over a hardwood floor, that is to the day still stained from the enormous quantity of pee that came leaking from him, since he had no effing idea of what he was doing. No, don't get me started on that one. <BR/><BR/>I'll chip in for bail, too. Gotta help another desperate mom.Lizardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718844284081950852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-2226486226683716522008-07-28T19:13:00.000-04:002008-07-28T19:13:00.000-04:00My grandson is the same.
